Today I had my hip injection and let me just say I never ever ever EVER want to do that again.
I spent an hour in the VA parking lot trying to find a parking space. The parking space was in the VERY back of the parking lot and it is quite a long walk when it's 115 degrees outside with a bum hip. I finally get into the office and find the room. They tried to tell me that I needed to get blood drawn again. I told them that I had gotten it done yesterday so at least i didn't have to do that again. I get into the room and I lay down on the tab while the nurse lady got everything ready. When the doctor came in he didn't seem to nice at all. That is not an understatement. His bed side manner would piss off the devil. I put up with it though because i figured the procedure would help. He started by sticking me with Lidocaine which hurt A LOT then it went, kind of, numb. Then he stuck me with another needle in my hip and took an x-ray to make sure it was in the correct spot... Guess what? It wasn't. It took him 3 more times to get it right and it hurt every single time. i was clinching the bed by my head and screaming it hurt so f-ing bad even with the Lidocaine! I suffered through it and then hobbled my broken ass back to my car and drove home.... I haven't been able to walk around since. I feel like an old person who's lost their walker... My hip hurts so unbelievably bad that now it isn't just the front of my hip that hurts but all the way around to the back of my hip right into my butt. My mom said that after the first day it will feel better. But I am having a hard time believing that. I really hope she's right though. I can't afford to go through this pain again. Because of it I can't work out... I can't even swim without it hurting... I need to work out. This is not an option. I am getting rid of my kangaroo pouch one way or another and this hip thing is not helping the cause.
Other than that, I still get connor this weekend. I have my plane ticket to NV for monday. I have even talked with my ex about getting connor for my great grandma Mary's birthday party the weekend of 13Aug. And Luke said he would be coming with me too.
After tomorrow, I will have no more appointments for the week. I will be packing for NV on Thursday. I just wish the rest of the week would hurry along... Friday-Sunday can go slow, I don't want to fast forward through my time with Connor of course. Good thing I will be leaving first thing Monday morning and it is only a 3 hour plane ride. Because I am feeling totally impatient.
Now I smell my momma's cooking so I've said all I need to say. I'm starving and it smells amazing so this concludes my nightly posting. I've covered the 'oh the pain' part, the 'oh the humanity' part and now I have successfully covered the 'oh momma's home cooking' part... time to enjoy
